Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Potrero could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
